TL;DR: Make Time has helped both my wife and I take much greater control over our days, helping us focus more on what fulfills and less on just marking days off of a calendar.

There's a real line between being a productive person, and being a productivity person. Someone who focuses on so many "hacks" or ways to get more out of every second, that efficiency in and of itself becomes to goal to the expense of everything else. That may be useful in a manufacturing job, but in our daily lives, there is surely more.

This is where Make Time really shines. Far from being a mad dash to some invisible finish line, Make Time provides simple, easy to read tools that can be used to refocus on what truly makes you happy. The book is written as a bit of a toolbox, meant to allow you to take pieces that work for you, and leave the ones that don't. Using that approach has massively improved my lifestyle.

As an example, after reading a few chapters in Make Time, I started having a morning ritual with my wife of making a hot cup of herbal tea, nuts, and cheese. Meanwhile, we would rearrange our chairs in our front room to face the sun and talk about what our highlights would be for the day as we watched the sunrise over the mountains, wrapped up in warm blankets. After that, I would perform a quick 7-minute exercise, ready to hit the day with a plan and energy to do it. I would frequently take a mental break in the middle of the workday, even giving myself opportunities to nap in my building's cell phone booths (with a visible 15-minute timer for passersby) to recharge my batteries and finish the workday hard. Then, on the ride home, I would meditate, newly recharging my brain and allowing myself to move on from work and to be truly present at home. Probably most importantly, I turned off almost all notifications on my phone. I noticed that when I was home, I was way more proactive spending time with my wife, getting things done around the house, and engaging in meaningful and fulfilling hobbies.

My story isn't all that unique, but it has all amounted to huge changes in my quality of life. All of the things I mentioned above are simple changes that were integrated over time, I'm positive that if you pick up this book and try out its experiments, you too will find something in there that will help you become more present, more fulfilled, and more able to enjoy everyday life.

Make Time How to Focus on What Matters Every Day Jake Knapp John Zeratsky 9780525572428 Books Reviews

With this latest sure to be a bestseller, Jake and JZ have turned their attention to managing time and how to focus your attention. If you've read Sprint, you'll find a similar familial style with relatable stories and lots of approachable fuzzy hand-drawn sketches.

Similar to how Sprint digests Design Thinking into a set of structured activities to drive repeatability and improve outcomes, Make Time, digests all the various time management and productivity hacks into a digestible and actionable set of tools designed to easily be mixed and matched based on personal preference.

If you are like me and always in search of fun hacks to improve your productivity and reduce distractions, check out Make Time. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Also, check out Time Dorks. It's a blog that Jake and John have been writing for a long time and the genesis for Make Time.
I have been a Getting Things Done (GTD) nerd since the mid 00's. It was the BEST method I'd learned to stay on top of work. But GTD was invented before smart phones and their endless, alluring distractions, before getting hundreds of emails each day was "a thing," before social media. Over time, GTD became more a source of guilt than satisfaction. I simply couldn't keep all the systems in place and get all my work done. And somehow the truly important things in my life - my marriage, my friends - never made it onto the daily To Do list. Or if they did, the task was one more thing to get done.

Not cool.

Then I heard an interview with Jake...and the stuff he said MADE SENSE. Like choosing ONE highlight each day and arranging your time and energy to support it so you can be fully present for it. Plus, he and John had the benefit of hundreds of sprints where they experimented with other people's time and energy. They really have it dialed in on.

I LOVE this book. In a very tangible way, it gave me my life back - ALL of it, not just work. Make Time has set me free - free from the guilt of a GTD system that I just couldn't manage, free to set ONE highlight each day, free to NOT be connected to my iphone day and night, free to work for three hours straight on projects I really love, free to lovingly "ignore" other people's requests when they're not priorities for me.

For most of the 20+ years I've been a small business owner and entrepreneur, I've felt like (a) I'll never keep up; and (b) other people have far too much authority to put things on my To Do list. And the things that always suffered most were my health and my family. Make Time has changed that for me. And I'm so grateful to these two "Time Dorks" cared enough to invent a better way, test hundreds of ideas, and share the results with the rest of us. Make Time puts the technology "genie" back in its bottle where it belongs.

PS GO PACK!
Make Time begins with the assertion that most of our time is spent by default, and that by changing those defaults, we can create more time in the day for things we care about. Much of the rest of the book is packed with short, actionable tactics for changing those defaults, organized into four clear steps of daily process. Better yet, the book is written with a sense of humor.

In some ways, this book is the opposite of elaborate systems such as Getting Things Done (GTD), in that the framework is simple and the book provides a rich menu of tactics from which to choose. This way, as the reader, you can experiment and figure out which tactics work best for you.

For anyone who has sensed days and weeks slip away while extremely busy, but without accomplishing things that truly matter, I enthusiastically recommend Make Time.
